Ranger killed weeks after reopening of Virunga national park

Park in DRC was shut last year for more than eight months after series of attacks on staff

A forest ranger has been killed in Virunga national park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, weeks after the reserve was reopened to tourists.

Virunga, home to critically endangered mountain gorillas as well as hundreds of other rare species, was shut for more than eight months for a review of security after a series of attacks on staff last year.
